I cant stand republicans and there anti poor hate for social programs what will be the result....An increase in illegal drug sales, prostitution HIV and AIDS epidemic will rise...High Toll of death on the elderly due to the non ability to pay for periodic health care. This administration and republican congress and Senate are no good and do not care for the under privilege. And Bush is there Leader in this Ideology.
This Mid term we must get the house and the Senate or we as america will be in a great pool of hell when Bush leaves office in 2008......Get out get democrats registered support positive politicians and hold their as to the Fire to do what is right for democracy and posterity. The Charge begins Now.

The republican part does not care for the poor or the children here is proof.
We have a President that talks about our children and the poor and the hard working class citizen but he and his republican party continues to hit them hard in where social programs help the most. Congress has just voted to cut 40 billion from programs such as Medicaid and Medicare which helps the elderly...They don't care for grand ma and grand pa on a fix income. Food stamps and education......That goes to show what the no child left behind crap he came up with stand.
Republicans Dont care about the Constitution.
In government, the line-item veto is the power of an executive to veto parts of a bill, usually budget appropriations. This enables an executive to nullify specific provisions of a bill, rather than only being able to approve or veto a bill in its entirety.

In the United States of America
This power is held by many state governors in the United States of America. As of 2005, all but seven states allow the line-item veto, namely Indiana, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
The President of the United States was briefly granted this power by the Line Item Veto Act of 1996, passed by Congress in order to control "pork barrel spending" that favors a particular region rather than the nation as a whole. The line-item veto was used 82 [1] [2] times by President Bill Clinton before U.S. District Court Judge Thomas F. Hogan decided on February 12, 1998 that unilateral amendment or repeal of only parts of statutes violated the U.S. Constitution. This ruling was subsequently affirmed on June 25, 1998 by a 6-3 decision of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case Clinton v. City of New York.
Despite the court cases ruling the power unconstitutional, President George W. Bush requested that Congress give him the power of the line item veto in his 2006 State of the Union address.
The Confederate States Constitution of 1861 allowed the Confederate president the power of a line-item veto.
